WHAT ZYNQUISTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Zynquista contains the active substance sotagliflozin, a medicine which lowers blood glucose (blood sugar) levels. Sotagliflozin works by slowing and reducing the absorption of glucose from food, and by increasing the amount of glucose that is passed out in urine. Together these actions help to lower the increased amount of glucose in the blood that occurs in patients with diabetes. Zynquista is used as an addition to insulin treatment in adults with type 1 diabetes with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 27. BMI is a measure of your weight in relation to your height.Type 1 diabetes is a disease where your body’s immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and the body produces little to no insulin, the hormone that normally controls the level of your blood sugar.
